Greetings, Dolora Rogerson from maybe Saskatchewan, Canada? I have been looking for names of ships from Scotland to Canada in 1832 for a long time, ever since I have gone online on my computer quite a few years ago. My great-grandfather, Baptist Deacon Donald MacGregor, came in 1832 from the Loch Rannoch area of Perthshire, Scotland to settle eventually in South River Lake, sometimes called Loch Katrine, Antigonish Co., Nova Scotia, Canada. If you or anyone secures a passenger list for the ship "Prompt" which left Greenock for Canada in 1832, would you please contact me? I am cc-ing many of you in hopes that you may be able to tell me where in Great Britain I might write to secure a hopefully still existent passenger list for the 1832 voyage of "The Prompt" from Greenock, Scotland to Canada, to which province I don't yet know! Better yet, Dolora, or any of you listers, can you tell me to what ports of call the 1832 voyage of the "Prompt" made in 1832 in Canada? Did it stop in the maritime provinces of Canada? Especially, did it stop in Prince Edward Island, in Nova Scotia, or even in New Brunswick? I ask because I don't know where my great-grandfather Donald MacGregor, son of Donald Ruadh MacGregor (the family name actually spelled McGregor at the time of immigration), disembarked as a British subject in Canada, but I presume that it most probably was in Pictou, Nova Scotia, or even possibly in Prince Edward Island. (Canada was not required to keep passenger lists until the 1860's!) I also suspect Prince Edward Island, because in 1838 or 1839 my ggf Donald traveled 6 or 7 years after his immigration to PEI to get married and bring back to South River Lake his brand new bride, Elizabeth or "Betsy" Stewart (daughter of John Stewart Sr. of Red Point, just south of East Point, PEI) whom Donald knew back in Loch Rannoch, Scotland. Perhaps Donald's immigrant ship (maybe the "Prompt"!) stopped in both PEI and in Nova Scotia, in 1832. If any of you know where the "Prompt" immigration ship docked in Canada in 1832, please write me at Rjmsimon@knology.net I shall be ecstatic to hear more info from any of you about the ship "Prompt"! Where would I write in Great Britain to obtain a passenger list for the 1832 voyage of the "Prompt" from Greenock to Canada, if the list still survives in Great Britain? I'd even like to hear info about any ship that came to the maritime provinces from Scotland in 1832. As for the ships I have found in the past that came to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia from Scotland in 1832, I doubt those ships contained my ggf Donald MacGregor as a passenger, though I could be "dead wrong"! Grin! There was a "highland clearance" in Loch Rannoch in 1831, so I would surmise that other desperate passengers from Loch Rannoch made the same voyage as Donald aboard the same ship to Canada, whichever ship that was, in 1832. Thank you so much, Lorine Schulze, and Delora Rogerson for sharing this info about the 1832 voyage of the "Prompt" from Greenock, Scotland to Canada. If the ship came only to Ontario, for instance, I could rule out probably that my ggf, Donald MacGregor, was a passenger on that ship. You see negative info can be helpful also. I do suspect that my ggf Donald arrived in Canada on a ship as a passenger "in the steerage". The Canadian newspapers would specify such and such a number of passengers in the steerage, but they did not list their names, too numerous probably. Hey, that would eventually have been a great tidbit for gossip, but oh well! One must have a sense of humor! Gratefully yours, and yours aye!
